Summary: Galatians 4:4-7 // Even if you've never heard the phrase "deus ex machina" before, you probably have seen it in books, TV shows, and movies many times over: when the hero of the story has lost because the odds are insurmountable and their fate has been sealed, something outside of the established story suddenly changes all factors in the story. An unwinnable situation suddenly becomes winnable, and the hero defeats the villain. Even though these 'reverses' are everywhere in our storytelling, deep down inside we dislike them because they tell us that we really are not good enough, strong enough, or wise enough to white-knuckle our way to victory and success. Maybe we do really need someone to intervene in our situation - and praise be to God that "when the fulness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law", and that "for our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God"! Our mission is to declare the gospel with our words and display the gospel with our lives to our neighbors and to the nations.
